|Timeskip: 1 month|

It's been a month since Shiraiya and his younger sister boarded Vice-admiral Garp's ship.

He's been training until his stamina was drained and couldn't move his body any longer.

The result of his training paid off! his stature was completely different than it was one month ago!

Shuraiya's body looks extremely healthy and full of strength contrary to the stick and skinny body he has.

Of course, not all of his improvements are external, in fact, his strength punch more than their looks.

Shuraiya's strength improve so much that even the sailors were shocked at his improvement speed!

They even praised that he could already pass as an ordinary marine soldier, in east blue that's it.

But Shuraiya didn't let those praise get over his head and devoted all of his time training while sparing some to spend time with his younger sister.

Overall, Shuraiya manages to blend and mingle with the sailors which also enjoy his company.

They get gritted their teeth in training seeing someone younger than them Training like there's no tomorrow.

"Where are you going, kid?" Garp ask Shuraiya who was holding a wooden spear.

Shuraiya started training with spear due to his other talent, Blade Proficiency.

He wasn't still a master but already got the gist of it.

Blade Proficiency only limited to Sword but also other bladed weapon like Spear, Sickle, and many more.

Shuraiya who gets the memory of his past self also believed that the spear is much more beneficial and strong compared to the sword.

"I'm going to practice old man!" Shuraiya is used to being rude to Garp because of the old man's antics

"Bwahahaha, put down your spear first you training freak kid, we have arrived at our destination" Garp didn't mind Shuraiya's naughtiness and just laugh and said.

Shuraiya's eyes shone hearing what the old man said as an excited expression was plastered on his face.

His past self, who were one piece fanatic would of course never forget the protagonist's birth island.

'Foosha Village' Shuraiya thought reminiscing the iconic moment of shank and Luffy that his past life watched.

He couldn't wait to reach the island and maybe witness that iconic event!

Shuraiya shook his head feeling that his past life self was being a fanatic again.

He was competitive and won't bow down to anyone, even Luffy!

"When we'll reach there, old man??" Shuraiya ask with a calm face but a hint of excitement could be detected in his voice.

"If im not mistaken, well reach Foosha Village by midday." The ship Navigator joined the conversation and said.

Shiraiya look up in the sky and saw that the sun was only rising.

"It's still dawn, I'll train first!" Shuraiya started as he walks toward the training room.

"This kid..." Garp shook his head in annoyance as his disciple (he decided without even Shuraiya knowing) all wanted to do was training, day and night.

Shuraiya was already far from Garp to hear what he says and even if he did, he won't care.

He entered the area and saw that no one was inside, he went to where the weight is stored and started his exercise.

He first starts by stretching to loosen up the muscles to be much more resistant to the impact of the training.

Shuraiya then started training for real as he first Squats, then Sit up, and so on.

Shuraiya stayed inside the Training room for four hours, finishing 10 reps of 100 squats, 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, and many more with thirty minutes break per rep.

"We have arrived!" A loud yell come from outside as Shuraiya instantly bolted toward the door.

'Foosha Village, the Village where it all began' Shuraiya's eyes twinkle seeing the normal but lively Village from afar.

Soon enough, the ship reaches the shore, and was the villagers who were near the shore encircled around the ship, recognizing Garp.

"UWOO!!!" The villagers look up after hearing a shout and see a falling child coming from the ship.

This is Shiraiya who couldn't wait any longer for the sailor to lower the ladder as he jumped down to the sand.

They stared at the spot where the child felt but couldn't see anything due to the sand that rises caused by the impact.

"Huh....that's fun HEHEHE" A childish voice could be heard coming inside the sand.

Soon the sand disperses due to the strong wind and a young boy could be seen smiling happily which freaks the villagers out.

"EHHHH!!!" They exclaimed as their eyes almost popped out from their eye socket.

"What monster did you bring again Garp!!" A slightly old man with oval glasses and mild black facial hair shouted at Garp who had just alight from the ship.

"BWAHAHAHA don't be so grumpy Woop Slap." Garp said casually not minding the old man name Woop Slap's rudeness.

"This brat will live here from now on." Garp casually added patting Shuraiya's shoulder.

"Aren't you gonna give him to Dadan?" Woop Slap ask in shock as he knew Garp give his two Grandson to Dadan.

Woop Slap and Dadan has some interaction together when they were younger so it's natural he knew about her.

"Bwahahahaha like that old hag knew a thing in raising a child." Garp pick his nose and laughed.

'Then why did you let her raise your Grandson!!!' Woop Slap's eyebrows twitch as he shouted in his mind.

"Who'll be taking that kid then??" Woop Slap rebuked Garp.

Even though all of the villagers here are acquaintances, that doesn't mean they would be willing to take Garp's responsibility with open arms.

"I'll do!" A young woman with brown eyes and dark green hair interrupted the two as volunteered to take care of Shuraiya.

Garp and Woop Slap turned their head to the voice source and saw Makino raising her hands.

"Are you sure about that Makino? you're still young, are you sure you can be responsible to this child?" Won't Slap warn Makino but her eyes were resolved.

"I know what im doing, chief" Makino answered in resolved and didn't back down.

".....hays if that's your decision then im here to support you" Wood Slap stared in Makino's eyes for a whole minute before giving up as he knew how stubborn of a woman Makino was.

Making smiled hearing Woop Slap honoring her decision as she moves her gaze to Shuraiya.

"Hello child, what's your name?" Makino asks Shuraiya in a gentle and soft voice.

"I'm Shuraiya Bascud!" Seeing that he finally has the chance to speak, Shuraiya speaks immediately.

"My name is Makino, I'll be taking care of you from now on!" Makino extended her hands to Shuraiya for a handshake while speaking.

"....Uhmm!" Shuraiya stared for Makino's hand in hesitation but he build up his resolve and took it.

"Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because… No matter how pathetic the reason, it's enough to start a war. War will never cease to exist… reasons can be thought up after the fact… Human nature pursues strife."
